Is the comic book store dead?  Bryce and Hamby discuss the latest news of Diamond Distributors not releasing new comics to shops during the crisis, what happens to the shops and customers?  What if the customers all start shopping online and don't come back?  And when will things be normal again?  Should companies like Sony be planning for "normal" when we don't if we will go to the movies the same anymore.  All this and more!

Well things have gotten weird, and fast!  Hamby says it best on the podcast this week "it's almost like we survived Thanos snap, all of a sudden everything is different".  We talk about the first week plus of social distancing, being sent home from the office as a precaution and how quickly things have accelerated since last we cast almost two weeks ago.  The Olympics have now postponed a year, how does that affect NBC's plans to launch their streaming network?  Movie theaters have closed and quickly movies like Onward and Bloodshot are available at home.  Black Widow, Wonder Woman 1984, New Mutants, Mulan, and more have all postponed, when will they just be released on digital?  Diamond Distributors are not delivering comics to retailers during this crisis, is this the unofficial end of brick and mortar stores selling print comics?  Lots of questions this week that we just don't get a chance to discuss, but we set the table for more to come.  Be safe, stay home.
